1. A Compelling Reason to Get Visitors to Your Website
2. Real-Time Statistics
3. A COMPELLING offer on your front page to get visitors to share their email
address with you.
4. An auto responder/list server to handle all your prospect follow-up
5. A Very CLEAR next step

Real time stats, or at least daily stats, ARE really handy for anyone who's trying to generate traffic. They'll give you an idea of your usage and where/when people are logging on. This can help tailor your content for your visitors. I wouldn't place it as a #2 requirement, though.

1 makes sense and is utterly important.
2 is important, but doesn't really help with your immediate creation.
3 is utter bullshit, as is 4.
5 is trivially apparent.

These tips are kinda pants They tell you NOTHING about how to design a good site.
